    I mean that was seriously an ### kicking ride.

    Lots of broke trucks.

    Lots with flat trailer tires.

    LOTS of Volvo's with what I would guess to be fuel or DEF or both problems from the sudden 0 degree temperatures.

    Cause there were a lot in the e lane triangles out shortly after the green flag.

    The accident was a new Cascadia broke down, not an accident, but dude couldn't get it off the highway. Better to just let it die in the travel lane with 2 days worth of trucks on your ###.

    Crowded and windy. I'm baked.

    And the OM downplayed it all, sitting and laying on the dash having a groom.:cool:

    Yesterday I pull up early because of the bridge fire.

    My wife called me a 3am to tell me about a dream she had. I was already awake.

    I get out of the truck to go shower and the parking lot is pitch black. Another small fire wiped out the transformer. No shower. No nothing. Avoid the Williams Loves for at least another day and 1/2 according to them.

    I wanted to leave early and beat traffic towards San Francisco. I did that. 2.5 hours early for my appointment. They took me early and I left there and was 2 hours early to the next.

    Then I met the laziest - slowest work crew I’ve ever seen. They had 5 guys and made me wait 2 hours till my appointment time...but they had nothing going on. Ok. What me, and 5 guys should be able to do in 30 minutes took 2.5 hours. They had a break and a lunch break. I couldn’t even count all the vape breaks - they were constant. Constantly on their phones and talked Raider football the whole time. Did I mention all the gang tattoos?

    So now I’m behind and have to get over Donner. I’m going to be late. WTF. I drove at a reasonable and prudent speed and was 45 minutes late. The receiver closes at 4pm. I sweet talked my way into a door.

    Then there’s the paperwork box labeling snafu.

    Then my new bottle of rainx started leaking.

    And my clock is running out and I have to get 40 minutes away to park if there’s a spot

    Did I mention the nail in my tandem I need to get fixed?

    This is of course leaving out my wife and son having a tiff and one of my oldest friends being bat #### crazy and talking up a mess of #### about his ex-wife.

    #### me sideways.

    I’m going to eat. I’m going to bed. I don’t care. I will care in 10 hours again.
